NewsUnder the impetus of the economic globalization, the allocation of resources has risen from a factory, a region, a nation spread to all over the world. International logistics by modern means of transport, information technology and network technology, reduces the logistics cost, improve the efficiency of the logistics, in international trade and global plays a more and more important role in the allocation of resources. As a new rising industry, international logistics is increasingly aroused people's concern.
Economic globalization brings unprecedented opportunities for international logistics development. International logistics is an important part of modern logistics, is the international cargo crossing between countries, between region and region of a logistics operation mode. Under the condition of economic globalization, the development of international logistics, are faced with unprecedented opportunities.
The expansion of international trade, international logistics provide a broad space for development
Since entering new century, the growth in international trade and scale increasing dramatically. From 2000 to 2007, world trade in goods of average annual growth rate of 5.5%, twice the world output growth at the same time, international trade as much as $28.1 trillion in 2007, the goods trade grew by 7.5%, more than twice as tall as the world's GDP growth of 3.5% over the same period. From the world's total exports accounted for the proportion of world GDP, in 1980 was only 21.79%, rising to 24.67% in 2001, to 34.6% in 2007. Six years from 2001 to 2007 years, the proportion of GDP rose by 10%, more than 3.4 times the increase over the past 21 years. Process, 90% of the global international trade goods is accomplished by the maritime transport.
According to the UN's trade development, according to a new study group in 2006 total global seaborne reached a staggering 7.4 billion tons, a day on average more than 2000 ten thousand tons of cargo flow in the sea, than in 2005 increased by 4.3%. In 2007, the world's merchant tonnage has more than 1 billion tons, increased by 8.6% over the previous year. The Baltic dry freight index has experienced unprecedented rally, broke through the 11000 mark, than in 2006 at the end of the year 4400 is up 250%.
With the rapid growth of international trade, trade dependency is also rising. From 2001 to 2007, the world trade dependence increased from 48.4% to 48.4%, of which export dependence increased from 24.1% to 34.6%. During the same period in developed economies trade dependency from 46% to 56.5%, developing economies increased from 57.6% to 73.4%.
The sharp rise in world trade dependence, show that between countries, between region and region of the world economic contact is further strengthen, on the basis of the international trade of the international flow of goods is accelerating worldwide.
The international industrial division of back layout, for the international logistics development provides a wide range of services
Look from the international division of labor, mutual dependence, complementary advantages of degree of division of labor is greatly increased, the manufacturing center of gravity is further east. The original traditional vertical division of labor system, is by developing countries to provide energy, resources and raw materials, developed countries provide the matching between manufactured goods. Has now turned into a general in the developing countries to provide energy and resources, provide some of the emerging economies, led by China, most manufactured goods, the developed countries to provide key technology, parts and components, high-end products and services, then the pattern of the total integration or assembly.
On the export structure, world exports accounted for about 70.1% of total exports of manufactured goods, manufactured goods exports more than 73.5% of North America, Europe was 78.4%, the Asian manufactured goods export proportion is as high as 81.9%. Two-thirds of exports of the Middle East, Africa and the commonwealth of independent states (cis) countries is dependent on oil and minerals, agricultural exports in South America (23.8%), fuel and mineral exports accounted for 42.4%. The least developed countries in 3/4 export revenues come from primary products, only a quarter from clothing manufactured exports.
On the import structure, final consumption and import market in the developed countries, the United States imports accounted for 15.8% of the world's total imports, 25 eu countries is 39.2%, Japan 4.8%, combined as high as 60%, more than half of the world import and export of goods to 10 developed countries have. Share in recent years, the "bric" imports rose from 6.3% in 2001 to 10.7% in 2007, especially China import shares almost doubled in a decade, has more than Japan.
The new international division of labor and layout, not only determines the direction and layout of the international logistics, and determine the new international logistics service object and service content.
